I quite agree, and if anyone is interested in even more, I have posted bug #2089 as a companion request for enhancement, for line drawing on the page, and for page breaks (to extend to additional pages).

Short description:
PRINT [(font[size]] @ X,Y "text to print" [@ X,Y "more text"]
where the user may optionally specify a font (and size), a starting pixel
location on the page horizontally and vertically, and then the actual text
(which could be a field reference). Additional references to location and
text are optional. The command would be used between an "open printing" and
"close printing" to build a report (most likely a columnar report).
What are the advantages of creating an alternate way to draw text containers and graphic primitives over the current object-based methods?
